Use this command to define a new management class in a policy set. To allow clients to use the new management class, you must activate the policy set that contains the new class.
You can define one or more management classes for each policy set in a policy domain. A management class can contain a backup copy group, an archive copy group, or both. The user of a client node can select any management class in the active policy set or use the default management class.
Note: | The DEFINE MGMTCLASS command fails if a copy storage pool is specified as the destination for space-managed files. |
Privilege Class
To issue this command, you must have system privilege, unrestricted policy privilege, or restricted policy privilege for the policy domain to which the management class belongs.
